Naming and Installing Profiles

A

Any profile you want to include in the KCMS library must be named according to specified conventions to avoid name clashes and promote portability. This appendix tells you to how name and install your profile so that it can be used in the KCMS framework.

Naming Profiles

The KCMS profile name is a filename with the following naming convention:


  <CMM ID><stock symbol><device>.<type>

The following table describes the fields in the profile filename:

Table A-1

Profile Filename Field	Description
CMM ID	A mnemonic. Solaris-supplied profiles use `kcms` as the CMM ID. Choose your own mnemonic for profiles you create.
stock symbol	Short mnemonic used by the stock market for your company.
device	Unique string identifying the device or color space. See Table A-2 for devices supported by Solaris.
type	ICC profile format standard filename suffixes; see Table A-3.

Supported Device

The following table lists the types of devices by manufacturer and model and profile filename. All of these devices are supported by the KCMS framework.

Installing Profiles

To install profiles, you must first locate them. Search for profiles in the following order:

Local current directory
Directories in KCMS_PROFILES environment variable
A colon-separated list of directories where profiles reside. You can do this on a per-user or work-group basis.

3. /etc/openwin/devdata/profiles

Local or machine-specific copies of configured profiles, for example, X Window System visual profiles.

4. /usr/openwin/etc/devdata/profiles

Note - All profiles for distribution (whether you create it or it is supplied with Solaris) should be written as superuser and read only.
